I mean, let's face it most people, obviously not all, only put the good stuff on their social media feeds. Their pictures of their "awesome vacation", the best meal the wifey just cooked, because she's the best or how the "hubs" surprised a wife with a new car, because he's the best husband in the world.
In other words, the social projection to the outside world is: We are doing great, YOLO bigtime over here - But, of course this is very far from the truth. Actually is so far from the truth that one has to wonder if we are reaching new levels of fakeness, one's that we've never seen before (to quote the orange leader).
Not to pick on the ladies, because it's the exact same for dudes. But, if you go to the google machine for example, and write out the words: "My boyfriend is... "
You can clearly see that most girls looking for relationship advice on the interwebs are approaching it with a negative angle. Even the bear thing is kind of questionable. Yet, the instragrams and the ZuckerBooks are filled with the opposite, right?
"I found my soulmate" type of messages rule social media, because they simply have to. I mean, I understand it, I do. Who wants to put negativity out into the world? Ok, wait, that's not a good question... My point is that I understand why people pretend everything is peaches and cream with cinnamon sprinkles. (omg, that sounds so gooood... Can you tell I'm hungry?)
Honestly, I'm only sharing this here, because I actually appreciate this aspect of this blogging thingy mcjigger most of us do. I just speak my mind, that's all. I put some warts in there, some unflattering pictures and videos of myself and have absolutely no intention of pretending everything is peaches and cream, because it never is.
Most of us in one way or another are trying to figure out this thing we call life, and this experience for me has been a big part of my personal journey...
The more I look at "traditional" social media, the more I'm happy to be "out the game" - Who cares? Who needs expensive selfie sticks, when all you can do is duck faces? pfffffff
